AntiSpam: Spam Text Blocker

Scam texts, phishing links and junk offers go straight to your Spam folder before your phone ever buzzes. Verification codes, bank alerts and appointment reminders keep coming through, just like always. AntiSpam does all of it on your iPhone, with nothing to maintain.

WHAT IT FILTERS
• Fake postal and delivery texts: "your package is on hold", "pay the $1.99 redelivery fee"
• Unpaid toll, parking ticket and "tax refund pending" scams
• Phishing: "your account has been locked", "verify your identity", "unusual sign-in"
• Crypto and "investment group" pitches promising quick returns
• Gift card, prize, loan and work-from-home offers
• Sports betting promos and marketing blasts you never signed up for

WHAT IT PROTECTS
• One-time passcodes and verification codes from banks and apps
• Bank and card alerts: purchases, transfers, balances
• Package tracking updates
• Appointment, school and prescription reminders
• Quick personal texts from real people
Built-in rules protect these before any spam check runs.

HOW IT WORKS
AntiSpam is built on Apple's own Message Filter extension. Every text from an unknown sender is checked right on your iPhone, and only there. It also sees through disguised spellings like "fr3e g1ft" and "v e r i f y".

A few limits, by Apple's design: texts from your contacts, from anyone you've replied to three or more times, and all iMessages never reach the filter. AntiSpam only ever sees text messages from numbers you don't know.

HOW ACCURATE IS IT?
We test on real texts, not demos.
• English: on 28,675 real texts from public research collections, 99% of what AntiSpam flags is spam and it catches 83% of spam (October 2026).
• Turkish, where AntiSpam has been filtering since February 2026: on 13,117 real Turkish texts, 98% of what it flags is spam and it catches 96% of spam (October 2026).
If a text ends up in the wrong place, add the sender to Always Allow or Always Block and it stays sorted.

REPORT A TEXT
Spam slipped through, or a real text ended up in Spam? Report it right from Messages. AntiSpam masks the text on your iPhone before anything is sent: codes, amounts, phone, card and account numbers, email addresses and names in greetings are hidden. You see exactly what will be sent, and nothing goes until you tap Done. Turn it on once in Settings › Apps › Phone › SMS/Call Reporting.

PRIVACY
The filter runs entirely on your iPhone. It has no internet access and never uploads or stores your texts. A text leaves your phone only when you report it, and it's masked on your iPhone first. Reports carry nothing that identifies you. No account, no sign-up, no tracking.

SETUP (iOS 26 and later)
Go to Settings › Apps › Messages and scroll down to Unknown Senders:
• Turn on Screen Unknown Senders.
• Tap Allow Notifications. Keep Verification Codes and Personal on, and turn on Transactions so bank, delivery and order texts from unknown numbers still notify you and show up in your Messages list for 12 hours. Leave Promotions off.
• Tap Text Message Filter and choose AntiSpam.
• Turn on Filter Spam.
Then restart your iPhone once. That's it.
